Girard, Napa Valley (California) Zinfandel 2013

Jun 8, 2016

By Rich Cook

Zinfandel still has some fine sites planted in Napa Valley, many on historic vineyards that are now surrounded by development.  This bottling rides the line between ripe and spicy style versus the lighter, pepper driven style, and it gathers the best of both worlds.  Mixed berries, bright spice, dill, pepper, and a zesty finish make for a lot of pairing possibilities.  A Platinum Award winner at the 2016 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
